Thatababy by Paul Trap for April 08, 2011

Ha! One more reason I love “Thatababy”. Where else do you get references to the classic “It’s a Good Life” ep of “The Twilight Zone”.

Also…is it sad that the reference wasn’t that obscure to me?

I love it too, but the reference was obscure to me.

Nah, just means we’ve lived long and colorfully!

I love the kid’s expression. “Like, yeah, okay, whatever, dad.”

I really don’t get many of Thatababy’s references. Have I been living under a rock? Don’t answer that and don’t turn me over to the Geico gecko, please.

I remember Billy Mumy in that Zone offering.

I also recall a young couple getting advice from a fortune machine with a devils head on it. I think he joined the service, and I think he made the rank of captain.

The most overly anthologized short story of all time. First published in 1853 (by Jereome Bixby), in the ’60s and ’70s it appeared in almost every collection of science fiction shorts.It got to the point where I hated that story.

Obscure??? That’s one of the best ones!

Nah, the best one was “The After Hours” where the mannequin thought she was a real person.

Runar is posting from the Twilight Zone, it would appear. Jerome Bixby story, published in 1953, not 100 years earlier. I’d dispute the “most overly anthologized story” description, though I must admit it’s a close thing.

Children of the Corn???

I never cared for dhmis (I’m a scaredy-cat). however, I make videos about it. C:\Users\Stevi\Desktop\reanimations and parodies of viral videos, tiktoks and more!
